Voted 5/5

I LOVE this pack. It is the perfect size for 2-3 day treks, it can be cinched tightly against your body for some mild technical stuff like scrambling. Even though it is light, Gregory does not skimp. The hipbelt is very comfortable and their JetStream backpanel keeps the pack away from your body keeping you ten times cooler than other designs. The only thing I could complain about is that the shoulder straps are a little thin.
